Reed Pete & Carol

Just outside of Yellowstone national park, we stumbled upon The Riversbend lodge. The property itself is a natural atosphere with both mountains and prairie, it completely fulfilled our expectations of what a Montana B&B should encompass.
The owners even provided local ice cream quarts. We were free to roam the property and walk along the Yellowstone river. We had an excellent patio with a view of the snow drizzled mountains as well as a cattle ranch below. Surprisingly the cows were good neighbors, not very noisy, and even though they could smell us, but we could not smell them :)
The cabin itself was a lovely two story sanctuary, decorated with leather sofas, cow hides, and hardwood floors. The kitchen and bathroom sinks were copper and tasteful. The site also has laundry. However, if you stay in the cabins there is no breakfast in the morning. The site provided seclusion and a breathtaking setting, it ensured our satisfaction from the very beginning.

I stayed at Paradise Gateway B&B and Cabins last July, after a long and eventful day in Yellowstone NP. I did not have reservations anywhere, nor thought I’d need any, when I exited the park at about 9:30 p.m., at the northern entrance to the park (next to Gardiner). However, much to my chagrin, not a single room was available ANYWHERE! So, I frantically called every place on Unilocal,and I even got a hotel list from the owner of a local motel. Finally, I spoke with Carol Reed (and I woke her up, I might add), and she had an opening because a guest had canceled. Long story short, I arrived and was thrilled to find carol waiting for me, and an excellent room to sleep in. I awoke the next morning to the warm aroma of coffee upstairs, and I arrived at the table to greet a feast. Great breakfast, and even greater conversation with the owners! I really appreciated all they did for me, and the stay was incredible. Last but not least, we watched Osprey’s flying around their backyard, with a huge mountain range in the backdrop. Quite an experience!
